Peter gets used to spending money like water and he has been unemployed
for 2 months now and never thought(here I would use "has never", seems better fit with the other parts of the sentence) of looking for a new job again, as a result,
he has ended up being dirt poor. The worse thing(The worst thing, or What's worse, To make things worse) is he has addicted(got/become addicted) to gambling
recently! His power was shut off because he has owed too much money
to the energy company. Therefore, his mom, sister and grandmother tried to
chip in half of the money to help him out and they said he had to come up with
the other half. His mom said to him: “ A fool and his money are soon parted,
our money doesn’t grow on trees, you got to quit gambling and find a job as
soon as you can.” Peter said : “Well , I had my fingers in the till and got
caught I don’t know if they would like to give me a chance or not.”
Although his family has been advising him to stop gambling, but one
ear in and out another(I know this idiom, but not sure if you can use it like this, maybe add a subject? like what they said was one ...), he is still dreaming that he will break the bank
and strike it rich one day. He thinks when he is in trouble he can bank on
his family all the time, and he thinks his family are all suckers that they
will help him out of adversity anytime. He thinks he could bank on his
mother like always. My gosh! What kind of a person he is!
